Plan Colombia and the M�rida Initiative are the two most significant US security assistance efforts in Latin America in the twenty-first century. At a time when US objectives in the Middle East and Central Asia were flagging, Colombia was a rare US foreign policy victory--a showcase for stabilization and security sector reform. Conversely, Mexico struggled to turn the tide on the country's scourge of crime and violence, even with an influx of resources aimed at professionalizing the country's security, defense, and judicial institutions. As Washington reconsiders its approach to stabilizing crisis countries after a challenging withdrawal from Afghanistan, From Peril to Partnership's comparative analysis of Colombia and Mexico offers lessons for scholars and policymakers alike, providing insights into the efficacy of US security assistance and the necessary conditions and stakeholders in partner nations that facilitate success. Crucially, private sector support, interparty consensus on security policies, and the centralization of the security bureaucracy underpinned Colombia's success. The absence of these features in Mexico contributed to the country's descent into chaos, culminating in the country's highest-ever homicide rate by the end of the 2010s. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, From Peril to Partnership evaluates to what extent security assistance programs helped improve the operational effectiveness and democratic accountability of Washington's partners--Colombian and Mexican security forces. It answers why Plan Colombia achieved its objectives and why the M�rida Initiative underdelivered in Mexico. Most importantly, it goes beyond drug war theatrics and the "one-size-fits-all" approach to US-led stabilization-at once, restoring agency to institutions on the receiving end of US security assistance and helping chart a course toward more nuanced and effective US policy.

So cute and so worth it!
Size: 3 Little Kid, Color: Turquoise
AMAZING for my 7 year old daughter. She can tie shoes but I no longer have to wait on her to do so. It takes 2 seconds for her to put these on and she says that they are super comfortable. We have been to Silver dollar City multiple times and she never complains about her feet hurting! They are easily washed in the washer. They hold up great. I think they are very much worth the money! Fit normal.

Great shoes and good fit. Fits as expected. The sole has worn down a bit quicker than I had hoped but my kiddo wears them everyday. I would buy them again for sure!
